Choosing the right placement location is essential when renting port-a-potties. You want your guests or employees to be able to find them and use them easily while ensuring they’re still serviceable and in a safe location. Use these guidelines to help you determine where you should place your portable restrooms.

How to Place Port-a-Potties

1. Level Surface

You don’t want to risk having your port-a-potties tilt or fall over, so place them on a level surface. A paved area is best, but if that’s unavailable, you should try to find a level grassy area that won’t get too muddy under heavy foot traffic. If you expect strong winds, consider positioning your port-a-potties near a wall or trees that can provide some shelter.

2. Easily Accessible

The most important part of choosing a location for your port-a-potties is to make sure they’re accessible to anyone that needs to use them. Place them in a safe location that is out of the way of the job site if you’re using them for construction and out of congested crowded areas if you’re using them for an event. A great place would be near some concession stands. You should also make sure there aren’t any curbs nearby, or users will continually trip on their way in and out. Keep in mind that the Americans with Disabilities Act requires at least one handicapped-accessible port-a-potty per event or job site, as well.

3. Secure Area

Unfortunately, port-a-potties tend to attract vandals. Place yours in a safe and well-lit area to discourage teenagers and other troublemakers from entering your workspace or event area and damaging or tipping over the units. Placing them behind a locked fence or under a streetlight or security camera is a great way to prevent vandalism. You may also consider staking them down or placing them up against sturdy structures to make tip-overs more difficult.
